Cape Town residents have until July 27, 2026, to influence the transformation of the Civic Centre parking area into a vibrant mixed-use precinct.The proposal, approved by Council for public participation, involves selling part of Erf 1, Roggebaai (Woodstock Parking site) to develop residential, commercial, and retail spaces, along with public realm upgrades.The City estimates the project could generate R230 million from land sales, attract R1.5 billion in private investment, and create 3,500 jobs.

Mayoral committee member James Vos emphasized unlocking public value from underused municipal land, while officials highlighted affordable housing opportunities and improved urban environments.

The Human Settlements Directorate will shape the affordable housing component, ensuring adequate parking, security, and access to the Civic Centre remain priorities.Public comments will inform the final planning and conditions of sale for the property.
